The drive up to Sheep’s Head is beautiful and you can’t imagine it can get any better but it does. The walk down to the lighthouse is incredible. It is a rocky walk in areas so I’d recommend having good footwear. It takes about 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back at a leisurely pace. We were lucky to have a lovely sunny day and we were there before 11 but by the time we were returning the crowds were building so I’d say go early to avoid the crowds.

Fantastic!!! Loved every second of our week in the pods. Home from home with everything you could need available. Great to have a shower in the pods and plenty of space inside for our family of four. Everything was spotless and new, beds comfy and plenty of space in the kitchenette, with a great size fridge with a freezer box also. The owners are the nicest people, so friendly and welcoming and had provided a fan and ice for us as it was the hottest day of the year when we arrived so that was really appreciated! Always lovely to have a chat with the owners during our stay who had so much time for everyone, they are locals so very knowledgeable about the area. The park itself is in the most beautiful location with stunning sea views from all the pods, lovely sitting at your own little picnic table in front of the pods and enjoying the mountains and the sea. The views from the top of the site are spectacular and not to be missed. It's a lovely walk up the hill and beyond with a really pretty lake also. The kids loved the fairy forest, which had loads of fairies and they have the sweetest animals onsite. We have never met such friendly goats, who love to be petted and also beautiful sheep with tiny newborn lambs as well as some cattle. The kids loved checking in with them daily! One of the best features is the little playground which is metres from the pods, so you can watch the kids play safely whilst relaxing at your pod. There is also table tennis available, a campers kitchen, a beautiful sensory room, a shop with great coffee and ice lollies etc and a communal campfire which is lit every evening. All in all we had a superb stay and would love to return, can't recommend this place highly enough!

Travelled there from Bantry last Saturday my partner and I. Scenic road from the beautiful village of Ahakista, getting very narrow towards the end of it. We were very pleasantly surprised by the charm of this place, we walked down as far as the tiny lighthouse which is a return sporty paced walk of just under the 50mn mark. The combined views of the adjacent northern and southern peninsulas are fantastic. There is the option of a longer walk in a loop shape that we couldn't do because of the more rugged terrain in some places that require walkers to wear proper hiking footwear that we didn't have. A must see place !

This is well worth a visit but you have to keep your nerve driving out this narrow road , there are plenty of passing places. We walked to see the light house, its says 2km but its rather up and down and rough terrain, you could do with sturdy shoes and a warm hat . But amazing views

We drove from Bantry mid week thru Durrus to Sheep Head . Weather was good and although it was mid week there was still a fair amount of traffic but when we arrived the views were spectacular and well worth the drive. Nice little cafe for a coffee and plenty of seating to relax enjoy the scenery. If its a clear day this location is a must

Absolutely stunning location. The lighthouse loop walk is well worth it for the views of both sides of the peninsula, however it probably takes a bit longer than 1.5 hours as noted on the information signs. Nice little shop/cafe and toilets at the start of the walk.

This was an excellent hike. Our family did the hike out to the lighthouse during December. It was not too cold but was extremely windy. The wind was so strong that it nearly knocked my wife down on a few occasions. The hike is fairly easy with no extreme grades for very long. There may be a lot of steps for some once to the lighthouse but it was not bad. There is a place at the trailhead with a store and restrooms (something hard to find at some hiking places in Ireland). There is limited parking, so probably better to go early. There are some picnic tables at the trailhead where you can eat and admire the ocean views. I assume that, prior to Covid, that the store sells food but was not open when we hiked.

Make sure to pack your walking boots - the path out to the lighthouse is very even and well looked after, but the way back can be steep and uneven. That said, I really enjoyed the whole experience- you’ll be surprised by stunning views regularly on the way out and back. Grab a scone and a cuppa in the cafe after and drink in the views!

We accidentally turned on to goat trail road and it was the the best thing we did on our way to Mizen Head the views and the lane and a half road made it the perfect adventure although we where lost. Our day on the Mizen Peninsula became and adventure of two peninsulas. The views are amazing and truly a beautiful place

I was blown away by the Sheeps Head peninsula. The views across Bantry Bay to the Beara Peninsula to one side and across to Mizen Head on the other were just magnificent. Some hairy roads but not too bad, take your time. Plenty of laybys to pull in for snaps. The road ends where the walk down to the lighthouse starts, an absolute must see. There are toilets there and a decent sized car park. It's a tough aul walk but we'll worth the rewards as the lighthouse affords wonderful views. On the Beara sides the views are better but on the Mizen side there are a few charming villages and restaurants. A fantastic drive or if you want a real challenge you can walk or cycle part of it!
